Situated in Newtown, 5 minutes’ drive from Ballyvaughan and Galway Bay, The Waters Country House boasts over 40 acres of farmland at the foot of the Burren Hills. Ailwee Cave, also featuring an underground river and a waterfall, is only 3km from the property.

With free parking, this guest house offers easy access to the stunning Irish countryside. Corcomroe Abbey, an early 13th-century Cistercian monastery, is 20 minutes’ drive away. This characterful property was full of quirks and personality. We really loved having access to common spaces (where we played some boardgames) and the owners kindly let some of our party stay late while the rest of us went horseback riding. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy for breakfast, and my family members said the full Irish was amazing.

Situated in Doolin and only 11 km from Cliffs of Moher, Knockaguilla House Bed & Breakfast features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Boasting a housekeeping service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation offers private check-in and check-out and bicycle parking for guests. Spacious room, private bathroom. Lovely view! Marie and her family were so kind and attentive, they made the stay so personable and welcoming. We are so lucky to have stayed a week with them! Despite some unfortunate airline delays, communication was easy and clear and we were able to arrange for a self check in after hours. Water, towels, toiletries and breakfast every morning was provided. It’s about an hour walk to the closest pub, which was not a problem for us, but something to keep in mind. Everything was phenomenal, we had a lovely stay and highly recommend booking with them!

Rossmanagher House in Bunratty provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting luggage storage space, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Everything about Lorraine’s place was magical, it was like stepping into a fairytale! The house was GORGEOUS, the furniture breathtaking, the room was spacious, Lorraine was the sweetest and even though we had to leave much earlier than breakfast is served, she set out the most beautiful spread of a continental breakfast and even walked us out and chatted with us about the horses.

Shannon Airport is less than 15 minutes’ drive from this bed and breakfast. It was conveniently located to Bunratty Castle where we attended the Medieval Dinner. The rooms were bright and clean. Breakfast and lounge area was large with windows. Full Irish breakfast was huge, hot and at requested time. It included freshly baked brown bread. Coffee and tea were plentiful. Shane and Sinead were lovely and able to give local information and suggestions around the area.

In a great location at Lahinch, close to the Cliffs of Moher, the Ocean and the Famous Links Golf, Vaughan Lodge is a small, family-owned run by 4th generation local hoteliers, Michael and Maria Vaughan. Situated on the N67 45 minutes drive from Shannon Airport. We stayed at this hotel because we were looking for a 4 starts hotel near the cliffs, it wasn't easy because most places are 3 stars and less. The hotel is charming, run by a family who really cares about details and guests. Everything was comfortable, the stay was extremely nice, and since the coast of the Ocean is definitely worth visiting, we hit the tide and huge waves of the Atlantic, it was an almost epic experience! A place extremely worth visiting. Very nice stay.
